Outraged parents have slammed “sick and disgusting” child sex dolls that have been invented to stop paedophiles from satisfying their ‘exclusive’ sexual attraction with children.

Shin Takagi, founded the Japanese firm Trottla and producer of these rubber ccreations claims the lifelike dolls are a tool for those who, like him, struggle with an ongoing sexual attraction towards children.

Hundreds of disgusted parents agreed that any sort of sexual desire towards children is wrong and it should not be encouraged in any way and believed that the production of these dolls will normalizes the warped behaviour.

Reader Nessy Brooks wrote: “It”s not okay to be attracted to kids sexually, if you are then I hope you die real soon.”

Karolyn Welford said: “If a doll is keeping you from having sex with a child, please just go get a gun and one bullet load aim at your face and pull it.”

Shauna Rossiter said: “Paedophiles already have 2 options and that”s enough. They either completely suppress their desire and never look at another child again – and if they can”t manage that then they should kill themselves. Child Sex dolls; I’ve never heard of something more repulsive in my life.”

Ann Marie Stapp said these dolls would only desensitise paedophiles and dehumanise their victims so they thought it was normal to act on their urges.

She said: “They are still being socialised and sexualised towards images of children and being encouraged to act out.”

Melissa Hayes added: “People who are like that don’t need dolls, they need counselling and to be closely monitored, finding an innocent child attractive in a sexual way is a clear sign that your brain isn’t working.”

However, the producer of these dolls have said they could help in a world in which stigma makes finding help to repress their urges very difficult.

Takagi said: “We should accept that there is no way to change someone’s fetishes.

I am helping people express their desires, legally and ethically. It’s not worth living if you have to live with repressed desire.”

According to him, his dolls save children from sexual abuse, and his clients – mostly men living alone – write and thank him for that service.

“I often receive letters from buyers. The letters say, ‘Thanks to your dolls, I can keep from committing a crime.”
